NEGKTIE HOLDER.

Application filed March 16, 1921, Serial No. 452,828.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SALVADOR AGUILAR' SULnoIo, a citizen of Guatemala, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented new and useful Necktie Holders, of which the following is a specification in such full and clear terms as will enable those skilled in the art to construct and use the same.

This invention relates to necktie holders, one object of which is to provide means for holding a tie in a neat attractive knot, while at the same time enabling the user to vary th'e'position of the fold without injury to the tie.

Another object of the holder is to provide means whereby the tie may be held in place on one of the common high turn down collars without bein passed entirely around the collar, thereby dispensing with the annoying' feature of having to pull the tie around the collar to produce the proper kind of a knot.

Another object of the inventionis to produce a holder which will'reduce the wear on the collar and which will be capable of holding the ends of the collar in a neat position. I

Another object'of the invention is to provide means to secure the tie to the holder, which will permit the tie to be moved to several positions to prevent the fold formed in the tie from becoming a permanent crease, without removing said securing means. Another object of the invention is to provide a cross strap for the tie, which is capable of being reversed to turn the worn or faded side in, thereby increasing the usefulness of the tie.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that any metal may be used to produce the frame of the holder and that the frame may be provided with the buttons to pass through the holes in the collar wings.

In the drawings in which the same reference numeral is applied to the same portions throughout the Several views, but of which there may be modifications,

Fig. 1 is a front view of the collar with the .tie in place on the holder.

Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the holder.

Fig. 3 is a view of the holder in plan. a ti Fig. 4 is a view of the cross strip of the Renewed October 22, 1923.

Fig. 5 is a view showing the shape of tie used. I

Fig. 6 is a front elevation of the tie and modified holder as it appears when used on a collar without button holes in the tabs.

Fig. 7 is a front view of the modified form of holder.

Fig. 8 is a plan view of the holder shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 9 is a perspective view of a portion of the holder and collar.

The numeral 1 indicates the collar which has the usual inner buttonholes to secure it to the shirtband, and in addition it has buttonholes 2 and 3 in the outside wings. The tie is indicated at 4-and it has a cross-piece 5 which is connected by three snap posts 7, 8 and 9 to its opposite end by the three eyelets 1.0, 11 and 12. q

The tie is slightly larger than the central portion of the usual four-in-hand tie and the cross-piece is of the same width as the crosspiece in the usual four-in-hand tie, although sizes are not material to the invention.

The holder in each instance consists of a single length of a suitable wire 13. The wire is bent to produce two laterally extending wings 14 and 15 curved to fit the collar. The wire is then bent downwardly ateach end (see 16 and 17), to produce a support of substantially the same length as the width I of the cross-piece 5. r

The portions 16 and 17 of the frame have. their ends outwardly bent as shown at 18, 19 and are provided with small buttons 20, 21, which are passed through .the buttonholes 2 and 3 when in use.

The tie is folded once and then the top of the frame, the cross-piece is then passed once around the tie, and the parts 16, 17, whereupon it is secured in place with the snaps. When thus arranged, the tie may be slipped up or down as may be desired, to. prevent undue wear in any one place, or if it is desired the cross-piece may be removed and the tie may be reversed in position. Whenthe tie is used, it has the parts 14 and 15 slipped between the folds of the collar and the buttons are pushed through the buttonholes.

In the form of the invention shown, in Figures 6 to 9, the wire 13 has the side members 25, 26 exactly the same as the side members 14,15, but the depending members 27, 28 terminate in two upwardly extending flat laid over coils 29, the wire of said coils being stiff be made in different sizes as may be required enough to tightly engage the inner collar band when the tie is worn, and dispense with. the use of the buttonholes in the outer wings of the collar. In this form of the invention, the tie is secured to'the holder in the same way as in the previous form, and the holder is simply pushed up in place with the coils 29, 30 back of the inner band of the collar, the holder being retained by friction.

It will bev apparent that the holder is completely concealed in both instances, the tie giving the appearance of the usual four-inhand knot.

Another advantage of this necktie holder is that it may be used without handling the collar as much as is ordinarily necessary, and thereby keeps the collar cleaner. I

Another advantage of this invention lies in the fact that it keeps the necktie in an elegant and perfect form at all times, avoiding the usual wrinkling.

The necktie is also formed of two smaller pieces than the usual four-in-hand,.thereby being more economical. p

Another advantage of this necktie holder is that it prevents the collar button and inside band of the collar from being seen above t e tie.

' mes es It will be understood that the holder may for collars of difierent heights.

Having thus described my inventlon, what I. claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows:" M I 1. An article of neckwear comprising a frame having means to secure it to a collar and a necktie consisting of two flat portions, one of Whichis hung on the frame, and the other of which surrounds the frame and tie.

2. A necktie and holder comprising a supporting frame having means to connect it to a collar, a reversible necktie folded over the frame and depending therefrom, and areversible detachable band surrounding the tie and frame to give the appearance of a knot. 3. A necktie and holder comprising a supporting frame, means to detachably engage the frame with a collar, a reversible necktie folded over the frame and depending therefrom, a separable band surrounding the tie and frame, and snaps to secure the ends of said band together.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 11th day of March, A. D. 1921.
